[sane-devel] Fujitsu ScanSnap iX500 "Brain-dead scanner" in SANE 1.0.25

I just committed fujitsu backend v120 to sane git repo. This should fix both of these problems. I no longer have access to this scanner, so I am hoping you can test. If so, please verify that when you scan with no paper in the scanner, you get the 'out of documents' message instead of an error, and

Spot on! With this change, it all behaves as expected: all pages are scanned, and scanimage continues to load pages after this until it has all of them. What can I say - Thank you, you rock! :-) Manuel On 03/24/2014 04:06 PM, m. allan noah wrote: > Yes- I had a similar report of this from anothe

Thank you for the additional info. I will have a look from time to time, and eventually find out if USB3 has any real-world advantages here. I might have found a bug now: > scanimage --format=tiff --batch --mode Color --resolution 300dpi --source "ADF Duplex" --buffermode On This scans all pages

Oh wow! It works on a regular USB2 port! I used the same USB3 port before, both with a USB3 cable and a USB2 cable. Thank you so much! The software is vuescan: http://www.hamrick.com/ Payware, bin-only, no CLI, but some interesting auto-enhancement-features. And it supports scanners which never ma

Dear list, I try to get a new Fujitsu ScanSnap iX500 to work on Debian 7.4 x64. The scanner works on this machine with some proprietary software which doesn't use SANE. I installed SANE from source, both into the regular folders and with ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir

Now, what happens if you try to scan with no paper in the hopper? Does the scanner work after that? allan On Mon, Mar 24, 2014 at 11:19 AM, Krutzbeuazen wrote: > Spot on! > With this change, it all behaves as expected: all pages are scanned, and > scanimage continues to load pages after this unt

Yes- I had a similar report of this from another user a few days ago. I think the problem is here: If you edit backend/fujitsu.c and change line 2215 from s->hopper_before_op = 1; to s->hopper_before_op = 0; and recompile, that might help. I added that code specifically for this scanner. Without

Are you using a USB 3 port? There have been many reports of problems with USB 3 under Linux. Also, what is this proprietary software of which you speak? Something which runs under Linux? allan
